[QUOTE="Berandor, post: 1632932, member: 225"] Comments from other thread, more soon :) Well, he was originally designed as a household helper. He knows how to drive, how to repair, how to clean, how to cook, etc. :) As to his misunderstanding of the tag, I should have included it in the story that he was designed not to know that he was a robot, and when faced with evidence he'd shut down. Sort of a fail-safe measure. That's why he kept wearing the glasses (the eyes being a weak spot), didn't wonder about not sleeping, not eating, etc. In the end, there were a couple of things I would have liked to include (such as a little more explanation in the epilogue as to the robots' and the car's background), but time ran too short and I simply didn't think of it. As it is, with 4730 words, I probably couldn't have included evrything, anyway :) While I didn't know about the motorcycles, I have regretted that I didn't really flesh out when the story was set (basically, 2005). Thanks Well, I had read at grammarbook.com: , but even then I did it wrong, didn't I? Thanks, it didn't look right, either :) Well, one hour left, 300 words left, and still you're right. :) Yeah, the "He" grated on me, too. But writing "the man" didn't seem right, either. I used the mirror mainly for two reasons: I needed Robert to know what he looked like so he recognized his "clone", and it sort of framed the story with him looking into the mirror at the end again. All in all good story. Some room for improvement, but there always is for Ceramic DM.[/QUOTE] Well, thanks again. "Good" is better than I feared, and I will use that room for improvement if I advance to the next round :) [/QUOTE]
